Founder of Madonna University, Nigeria, Rev Fr Emmanual Edeh, has boasted that ladies who gain admission into the university as virgins also graduate as virgins as a result of the high moral standard inculcated in them.
According to a video posted by Channels Television on Wednesday, Edeh, who is also a professor, said Madonna University is widely known for its moral and discipline in the academic world.
Heaping accolades on the higher institution of learning, Edeh boasted that many persons abroad looking for virgins to marry come to Madonna University because they know that’s where they find them.
“It is only in this university that is clearly maintained that girls who have entered the university as virgins graduate as virgins. You can enter our university as virgins and graduate as virgins,” he said.
“Tell me any other university in the whole world that can maintain this. That is why people from London, America, England, Germany, when you meet them, they will say Father, we want to marry a girl who is a virgin. And they don’t tend to get that until they come to Madonna Univeristy. “
When speaking on the high degree of morals and discipline in which the school operates, Edeh also said students who do not meet the 85 percent attendance are not allowed to sit for examinations, and lecturers who fail to meet 100 percent attendance are sanctioned.
He also said all the students of the school live on their campuses as they are not allowed to live off-campus for effective monitoring, adding that the school does not discriminate in its admission procedures.
“Although we have students from all walks of life across the religious and social lines. So we don’t discriminate, we give all…we follow our Catholic methods. Madonna University is unique in its following way – high morals and discipline. Madonna is known for its high morals and discipline thus in academics,” Edeh said.
“This is why every student who fails to live the required 85 per cent attendance to lecture for any course will not be allowed to sit for the examination. Also, lecturers who fail to come to classes in 100 percent of their course outline are sanctioned.
“And also, number two 100 percent residency of our students…that means we don’t allow our students to go and live in hotels or live in any other place and start coming to the school.
“Our 100 percent boarding system on the university campus enhances effective monitoring, guidance, and counselling, and with all the levels of management to know the students better, for more appropriate guidance. “
The Catholic cleric also said that cultism, molestation, examination malpractice and all other social vices cannot be found in the school.
“Madonna is a university where there is no secret cultism, molestation, exam malpractice, no bullying, zero tolerance for hard drugs. A zero tolerance for sexual immorality,” he added.
Madonna University was founded in 1999 and has three campuses – Okija, Anambra State; Elele, Rivers State and Akpugo, Enugu State.
